Using blender or juicer to mix juice

[Robk215]

Hey all. I've been reading threads here for awhile. Started making my own juice about a month ago.

I can't seem to find any results here or on what the web because "vape juice in blender" don't get me any vape related results.

Anyway, I've tried mixing my juice in a blender/magic bullet. Does anyone know of any negative affects of mixing juice this way? Clearly much easier than shaking. When I do this I'm making more than 150 ML's of juice at a time.

Seems overkill. When I mix, I use a larger bottle than I need. The fact that there is extra space in the bottle, it shakes easily.

When I do my base in a big bottle, I do the same thing. The PG, VG, and nic are quicker and easier to mix together.


Edit: I just noticed you say Magic Bullet. For some reason, I thought liter or larger size blender.

This is what I use and see no reason to use anything else.............

What is it? Does it take an 18650 battery?

j/k about the battery.

I also use the frother shown above when mixing a larger batch(Amazon $5) but most of the time I just warm and shake. As long as there is a little open space left in your bottle, once the liquid is thin from a short hot water bath, just shake for a cpl minutes and you should be good to go.. I also shake bottles a little everytime I look at them or open to smell but that's probably just my ocd coming out! Lol

A frother? Is that what they use for the funny coffees?

Yep! And charge a arm and a leg for it!

Thats hilarious! They're actually being sold as e-liquid mixers!!! Talk about repurposing! The really funny part is that I checked it out on Walmart and the same frother was twice as expensive! Im in Canada so I cant access the american prices but still funny!

yah it is... Mine was like $5.99 with free shipping from Amazon. I will say this though... If your mixing a 70/30 to max vg mix then it does struggle somewhat. You can stir the edges or top etc but if you just put it down to the bottom the tool slows down significantly. Still love it when mixing larger batches though!!

I find running it up and down the beaker works well even with my Max VG e-Liquids. Even keeping at the top mixes it pretty thoroughly.

Ive got an immersion blender(usually for making puree style soups)....If I made large enough batches I could totally use that!

If I were making large batches, like 250 ml +, I would definitely use my blender to whip that liquid into a froth, but for 30 and 60 ml it doesn't seem practical.

When they invent a gizmo like Steve's frother that's designed with retractable/flexible blades that can fit into a narrow-neck 30 ml bottle, I'll buy it.

 

[SteveS45]

It doesn't whip it into a froth it gently stirs it in a beaker before I fill a bottle.

Would seem a blender would put a lot of air into the mix.

 

[SteveS45]

Only if you start it spinning before you stick it into the liquid if you start it submerged you get almost no air bubbles at all. As soon as i fill the bottle it gets a hot water bath and the mixture clears in an hour or less. Shaking vigorously actually will get more air bubbles in a bottle then using the mixer.

I agree on the frother. I was thinking about the OP using a counter top blender, for large batches.

Exactly!!!

Yah I would think that way would put alot of bubbles, almost turning it white(temporarily) if a blender was used.
